Weybourne (Waverley) Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2023, Weybourne (Waverley) recorded 27 crimes across a population of 11,678 residents, translating to a crime rate of 2.3 per 1,000 — a figure 69.3% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This low rate reflects the area’s status as a built-up region within Waverley, where residential density and community cohesion may contribute to reduced criminal activity. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 48.2% of all incidents (13 cases), followed by vehicle crime (18.5%) and anti-social behaviour (18.5%). These figures are consistent with the seasonal context of November, a month marked by shorter daylight hours, Bonfire Night, and the early stages of Black Friday shopping — factors that may partly explain fluctuations in crime patterns. The violent crime rate of 1.1 per 1,000 is 58% below the UK average, underscoring the area’s comparative safety. Meanwhile, vehicle crime, though rising sharply by 400% compared to the previous month, remains 20% below the UK average (0.5 per 1,000). The overall crime mix suggests a focus on property-related and personal crimes, with minimal evidence of large-scale or organised criminal activity. This profile aligns with the characteristics of a smaller, likely semi-rural built-up area, where social networks and local policing may play a role in maintaining low crime rates.

November 2023 saw a 400% surge in vehicle crime, rising from 1 to 5 incidents — a stark contrast to the 60% decline in public order offences, which fell from 5 to 2. This shift suggests a reallocation of criminal activity, with vehicle-related incidents now comprising 18.5% of total crimes. Violent and sexual offences, the most prevalent category, remained 58% below the UK average (1.1 vs 2.6 per 1,000), highlighting the area’s consistent safety profile for such crimes. The 37.2% year-on-year decrease in overall crime rates, from 3.7 to 2.3 per 1,000, aligns with broader trends of reduced violent crime in rural and semi-rural areas. For residents, the daily crime rate of 1 per day offers a clear, relatable metric — if a resident were to calculate their personal risk, it would equate to a 0.008% chance of encountering a crime on any given day. This figure, while small, is a reminder of the area’s low-risk environment compared to the UK average.

For November 2023, Weybourne (Waverley) recorded 27 crimes, translating to 1 reported crime per day across its population of 11,678 residents. This equates to a monthly exposure rate of 1 in 433 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of criminal activity in the area. Compared to the previous month’s rate of 3.7 per 1,000, the current rate of 2.3 per 1,000 represents a 37.2% decline, indicating a notable reduction in overall crime. The daily crime count provides a tangible benchmark for residents: on average, one incident occurs every 30 days, a statistic that may help contextualise the likelihood of personal exposure to crime. This low daily frequency contrasts sharply with larger urban areas, where higher population densities often correlate with more frequent incidents. The monthly exposure figure further illustrates that, for most residents, the chance of encountering crime remains minimal, reinforcing the area’s status as one of the safer built-up areas in the UK.
